Standing up for the Aussie Bottler
Just put Dr Smurto's Landlord down, his Light Amber which I am sipping now (mine isn't so light) is a ripping brew - I subbed Galaxy with Citra :icon_drool2:
What is considered good efficiency with this method?
I am getting around 69% :beerbang: with the last 3 brews.
Should I expect more?
Firstly there are different methods of calculating efficiencies (and different types of efficiency: http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php?title...ing_Efficiency)
Secondly, efficiency is mainly important for the following reasons:
Developing consistency in brewing methods, recipe development etc - which will also help lead to consistency of product if that's something you are interested in (not everyone is)
AND
Working out flaws in your processes and/or equipment.
I work on 70% and that gives me enough consistency between brews to know my recipe design is OK (I love designing recipes). I usually hit pretty close to what I expect and don't sweat it otherwise but some people love their numbers (and the relevant results) so if you're a numbers brewer then you should be able to push past 69% (again depending on definition/method of working out efficiency).
None of the above has anything to do specifically with Nick's method by the way.
